After building experience through amateur fights and training at Westside Boxing Gym in Hounslow, he turned professional in 2022. His pro debut came on 27th March 2022 at York Hall, where he defeated Frane Radnic.Now managed by Steve Goodwin, Balraj holds a professional record of 8 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws.

His story, featured by Sky Sports and other platforms, continues to inspire a new generation of athletes — especially those living with hearing impairments.
Balraj Khara is more than a boxer. He’s a role model, a trailblazer, and proof that true strength is built through discipline, purpose, and breaking through the noise — even in silence.
